Grand Blues
Most audiophile manufacturers would be content with producing one loudspeaker system as compelling as Blues, but, as you already know, Audes is far from the most audio manufacturers. Case in point – Audes Grand Blues. As the name denotes, these loudspeakers are a ‘grander’, as in larger, version of the loudspeaker that changed the industry’s perception of ‘two ears at a time’. Designed to be the Audes flagship product in the Credo line, Grand Blues is essentially ‘double’ the size of Blues, though every bit as efficient and even more capable of recreating the most demanding music… no matter the music, and to do so with a true ‘you-are-there’ quality, not found in loudspeakers with way ‘grander’ price tags. No matter if your passion is purely music or making the home theater of your dreams a reality, or for that matter even both – one audition will convince you these Blues have more than a heart… they have a soul.
